Numerology: Moolank, Bhagyank and name number

Enter your name and date of birth to get your Moolank, Bhagyank and name number, each with its ruling graha, plus your personal year and Lo Shu grid. Type other spellings to compare their numbers before choosing one.

The three main numbers

Moolank (root or psychic number) is the day of the month you were born, reduced to a single digit: someone born on the 29th has 2 + 9 = 11, and 1 + 1 = 2. Bhagyank (destiny number) adds every digit of the full date: 14-07-1985 gives 1 + 4 + 0 + 7 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 5 = 35, and 3 + 5 = 8. The name number adds the values of the letters of your name; the total before reducing is the compound number.

Letter values and ruling grahas

Indian numerology usually uses the Chaldean values below, in which no letter has the value 9. The Pythagorean system simply numbers the alphabet 1 to 9 in turn (A = 1 … I = 9, J = 1 …); you can switch to it above. Each number is linked to a graha.

Personal year and Lo Shu grid

The personal year adds your birth day, birth month and the current year, reduced to one digit; it runs in a nine-year cycle. The Lo Shu grid is the 3 × 3 magic square 4 9 2 / 3 5 7 / 8 1 6, in which the digits of your birth date are placed. Numbers that never appear are read as qualities to develop, and repeated numbers as strong ones.

Limits

Numerology is a separate tradition from Jyotish, and schools differ on letter values and on how numbers combine. The short descriptions are its traditional associations for each number, not predictions. The name number uses the name as spelled in English letters. For a reading from your birth chart, use the Kundli.
